@medicalmodelbri@geshNHS@fletchjack@BMAResidents@jamesmurray_ldn As a paeds reg at ST8 my in hrs work was paid at £24 per hr.
5 yrs med school. Foundation yrs. sub specialist training and about to CCT.
Now a new PA, no experience needed is offered £34-38 per hr.
Something very wrong in all of this.
A friend in a nearby hospital has told me their specialty has kicked specialty trainees out of their office, reserving it for ANPs.
A quote from a consultant “we’re hoping to phase out trainees from the service, and just have ANPs”
The ladder pulling is just unfathomable
The draft GMC Order 2026 consultation just dropped. Buried in it is a fundamental change to who can be awarded a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT).
This matters enormously. Let me explain why.
Sikhs in the USA have found themselves the victims of hate crimes and discrimination because they were thought to be Muslim by bigots.
Even then, many of them refused to say "I'm NOT a Muslim.": "It's just not an option for us to throw another community under the bus."
Mohit is proving the point here
He's posted 2 examples where UK Grads would have been unable to enter training in their own country due to the long tail of IMGs squeezing them out
This is the very reason we need UK Grad prioritisation
The gravy train has arrived at its final destination.
Clearly the increase in ratios for Psych and GP wasn’t the success of #choosepsychiatry as lauded by @wendyburn et. al but just the path of least resistance for IMGs with nothing to lose.
No more!
I’ll be honest: @DrAsifQasim should have been PRCP.
He has consistently stood up for Medicine, for trainees, for patients, and for integrity.
He did so with no platforms or positions.
Any of us who believe in Medicine and its future should vote for him to be on the Council.
@rallybird2 @MedRegoncall1@nhsswipecard@Paramedic_LDN You’re absolutely allowed to think whatever you believe
In the same way, as an anaesthetic consultant who’s spent an awful lot of time on ITU, I’m allowed to tell you current health policy is cynical & unsafe IMHO
Amazing physios yes
Amazing physios on medical rotas, no
@wesstreeting There has to be movement on pay in a pay dispute. You are happy to pay for doctor replacement with non-medic roles, but not for doctors.
Your job is to deliver a safe health service with a sustainable workforce, not use jobs as a threat whilst patients continue to wait for care.
If this isn’t a troll account please DM me & tell me where never to take my children
I have zero against advancing roles appropriately
But when 15 years of competitive attrition during a medical degree, foundation training, PG exams & CCT turns into vibes I have a problem
@DrHFRyan@hareelizabeth1 Please don’t do this. The answer to everything can not and should not be courses and certification to encourage the overburden of regulation and proliferation of the “pseudo-med-ed” industry
